Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515PPAP Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5515PPAP is a compact flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery, conveying and material handling systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI55 series, it combines a rectangular polycarbonate housing with a PNP change-over output providing both normally open and normally closed switching functions.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm and uses a non-flush mounting configuration, providing extended metallic target detection from its compact flat-pack format. Measuring 35 × 55 × 15 mm, the EI5515PPAP is particularly useful where a conventional cylindrical proximity sensor is unsuitable or where a low-profile rectangular sensor is preferred.
With a rated power supply of 10–32 V DC, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum operating frequency of 250 Hz, the EI5515PPAP provides responsive sensing for industrial automation. Its factory-fitted 2 m cable, polycarbonate housing and IP67 protection rating provide a practical and durable solution for demanding machine environments.

Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515PPAP detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable metal object enters the detection zone, enabling machinery to monitor component position and presence without the mechanical wear associated with contact-operated switches.
The EI5515PPAP is particularly useful where installation space or machine geometry makes a cylindrical sensor less convenient. Its compact flat-pack housing, 15 mm sensing distance and PNP NO+NC change-over output provide installation and control flexibility, making it well suited to conveyors, material handling equipment and automated production machinery.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Component counting and positioning applications.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation systems.
